Vimy 100 OCSB

Great first day. Exhausting but great. The kids seemed to having a great time and enjoying everything. The weather was dry but rather chilly. Guided tour of Berlin tomorrow.

Returned to Vimy today.

Lest We Forget…👩‍🚀🇨🇦

A very nice children’s book written about The Vimy Oaks. 👩‍🚀🇨🇦

MT Vimy students (or any of the other students who attended!) I help organize the Royal Canadian Legion poster and writing contest for our school. If any of you want to write about your trip to Vimy, your experiences, about your soldier, what you learned, the impact it had on you, etc. that would be an amazing writing entry! It doesn't have to be long. PM me if you want more information or are interested! Thanks! Mrs. B

EXPLORE – Vimy Foundation

Students at St. Mark high School planted three "Vimy Oaks" at the entrance of the school to mark the 100th Anniversary of The Battle of Vimy Ridge. The oak trees are descendants of a handful of acorns gathered by Lieutenant Leslie Miller of Scarborough, serving with the Canadian Expeditionary Force at Vimy Ridge 100 years ago. The original acorns were planted at his father's farm in Scarborough and he named the farm 'Vimy Oaks'. Today, descendants of these trees are being planted at commemorative sites throughout Canada to honour the soldiers who fought at Vimy Ridge and other battles during the First World War. We would like to thank Ms. Daryl Webber for her time and effort securing these beautiful oak trees for our school. They will serve as a tribute and reminder to our students for years to come of the sacrifices these young soldiers made for Canada.
